Condom Quiz: How Much Do You Really Know About Condoms?

You know how to put on a condom and have used it several times. Does this mean you’re already a master on condom usage? Maybe yes — or maybe no. Take our quiz to test your condom knowledge and see if you’re an expert or if you need to do more homework.

Please answer these questions (make sure you don’t skip any!):

1. Why do you use condoms?

I want to prevent pregnancy and the transfer of sexually transmitted diseases.

My partner won’t have sex with me if I don’t wear a condom.

I love the different scents and textures!

2. Many condoms are made of latex. But what if you have a latex allergy

I won’t wear condoms at all — I’ll just go bare.

I’ll buy latex-free condoms like polyurethane and polyisoprene ones.

I’ll ask my partner to take birth control pills.

3. Regarding lubrication, what’s the best way to use a condom?

Use a personal lubricant which is condom compatible.

Get the condom wet with my saliva.

Add some coconut oil if it’s really necessary.

4. What lubricant should you use if you’re wearing a latex condom?

An oil-based lubricant.

A water-based or silicone-based lubricant.

Nothing.

5. You’re wearing a polyurethane condom — what kind of lubricant should you use?

A water-based or silicone-based lubricant only.

Anything — polyurethane condoms are compatible with all kinds of lube, even oil-based ones.

Nothing. Just slide it in!

6. You’ve hooked up with a new partner who hasn’t been tested for STIs yet but is allergic to latex. Which condom should you use?

Lambskin, since it’s all-natural and doesn’t contain latex.

Polyurethane or polyisoprene condoms.

Just go bare, so I’ll get more sensation and enjoy the sex.

7. True or false: male condoms and female condoms can be used at the same time.

Yes, I’ll get more protection that way.

No, doing this makes them ineffective.

What’s a female condom?

8. Are condoms really necessary for oral sex?

Yes. STIs can be transmitted from the genitals to the mouth through unprotected, condom-less oral sex.

No. It’s just oral sex! I wear condoms for vaginal and anal sex, but not for blowjobs.

I don’t really care; I don’t even wear condoms for vaginal and anal sex.

9. How much do you agree with this statement? “If a condom is inside an unopened packet, it’s safe to use.”

Yep. A condom is a condom!

I agree. Manufacturers nowadays prioritize condom quality so, as long as it’s from a trusted brand, I’ll probably use it.

Not really. Expired condoms are not safe to use, as well as those that are made to be novelty items.

10. When used correctly and consistently, how effective are latex condoms in preventing unplanned pregnancies and STI transmissions?

100 percent effective.

98 percent effective.

90 percent effective.

11. True or false: You’re selective with your sexual partners and only sleep with nice, smart people, which means you don’t need to wear condoms.

True. Nice, smart people are more careful about their sex life, so they don’t get STIs, and they can’t transmit these infections to me.

False. STIs don’t care if you’re nice or smart — one successful exposure to the virus or bacteria and you’re infected.

False. Nice, smart people like wearing condoms when having sex, and refusing to wear one will turn them off.

12. Can men with small or extra-large penises wear condoms?

Yes. Condoms come in different sizes, so anyone can find the right condom as long as they do their research.

Yes, but only if they want to. Men shouldn’t be forced to wear condoms!

No. Condoms are made in average sizes, so only men with average penises can wear them.

13. What do you do if the condom won’t roll down your penis shaft?

It’s probably the wrong way around, so I’ll take it off and wear it the right way.

Take it off and just go bare.

It probably already has semen on it and can lead to unplanned pregnancy, so I’ll throw it away and use a new condom

14. What’s more important when looking for a correct condom size: condom width or condom length?

Condom width, as a condom which is too tight or too loose can break or fall of.

Condom length, it’s more important to roll it down all the way

They are not important, just make sure you have any kind of condom

15. If your penis circumference is above 5.5 inches, what kind of condom should you use?
